Me and my nails, only 3 words needed: Worse combination ever! They always break or they are too dry or... I can go on forever. Since I bite my nails quite often (YES! I admit it haha), it is not bringing them much good. But since they have to be pretty & perfect for monday, special occasion. I decided to get my nails done at an expert: Valérie! She is not only the friendliest person I know, but also the best one in our region. Want to know more, read on...
- FRENCH SHELLAC MANICURE -
I usually never wear any colour on my nails and when I do, I end up with one hand done and the other undone. So yeah... The probability that I'll wear any nail polish at all will be very little. Friends of mine know me for this; either my nails look nice, and my thumbs are not painted or the other way around. Maybe I should start a new trend with that - thumb paint! Okay, NO...

So in relation to that and also the quest I was given I had to keep the colour neutral and chose for a simple, but elegant French manicure. Also it was my first time to try out shellac (a nail polish that stays for about 2-3 weeks), instead of regular nail polish. I am very curious how long it will last with me...
Valérie advised me to keep my nails short so you won't notice that there is any gel coat on it, hence the short white tips. She is already 1 5 years in the business, so she knows what she is doing. She will advise you through your treatment and the exact colour or nails would be best for you. She takes a lot of care in her work and loves her job, you can see that!
She is a very vibrant, happy and delighted person show loves to make her customers happy and satisfied. She tries to do the best she can for everyone with a BIG bright smile!

- SHELLAC COLOUR -
Then after my nails were done, I also had the chance to let my toes get a full love & care treatment overdose! Let me tell you, I've never had a pedicure because I am like: "No one will see my toes ... SHIT! Summer is coming, uhhmm yes they will see them!" So I thought, okay let's put a vibrant and sparkly colour on my toes to bring them into the summer hype!

I was in honour to try out one of the newest colour of the ProNails Summer Collection 2016; Watermelon. It is a mix between orange, red and pink. Super pretty and very colourful. Good choice!

Doesn't this colour look super pretty? My toes look 1000X better now! Summer is coming and this secret quest too so I have to be prepared. The shellac on my toes is supposed to last for about 4-8 weeks, such a long time! Also here I will keep you up to date with how long they stay on my feet.
Overall I just want to say that I am super happy with my nails & toes. It is just the way I wanted them to be; pretty & effortless. Nothing more, nothing less. I got taken care of very well and felt super comfortable @ Valérie 's place!
